Architecture in the Coastal Desert (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract

The research focuses on the architectural evolution of coastal desert settlements in Tarapacá, Chile, highlighting the complexity of indigenous societies during the prehispanic era. It contrasts earlier views that depicted these societies as simple and economically dependent on interior influences, instead presenting evidence of a diverse architectural tradition that developed from the Late Archaic Period to more recent times. Key archaeological findings from several sites in the region illustrate varied building techniques and spatial arrangements, reflecting social dynamics and adaptations to the unique coastal environment.
